  • Yeah okay, so it sounds like he’s the kind of guy who’ll build a framework, or most of it, and won’t ever really become capable of hosting a lot of videos at a watchable quality.

    Technically he’ll probably have built something basically functional the community could rally behind and get going. But that won’t happen, because the people who care about the Fediverse are few, insufficiently resourceful, and most importantly don’t care about shorts.



  • Yeah I don’t get the drama with this one. Unless you’re some disappointed investor.

    For me, with no stake in this, it’s fun. A bit weird and bad, but I’ve seen worse stuff. I feel like someone tried to do something interesting with that “Bird that wants to be a Plane” video.

    In my mind I pictured the bird as Sora/GPT and the plane as the theorized incredible and perfect general AI behemoth.

    Imagining the current AI as dumb, incapable and small. Not really able to understand the plane, only sort of, in it’s little bird way.








  • My brother bought the cv1 Oculus Rift pretty fast after it came out, we’ve both used it for most of the big releases and I’ve been wanting to buy my own since, but there’s been a bit of hesitation considering my brother early uses his own. I also had reservations against buying a Facebook device after they took over, and I was seeing new releases and resolutions going up a bit.

    Then information about the Big Screen Beyond came out, and I really wanted to get it. I checked out the page to buy it several times, kinda wanted to save the money too, though, but I think I was close enough that if I’d known anyone with the facescan iPhone I’d have done the scan and paid the ~$1,500 or so for the full setup.

    Knowing myself and my brother, I would have played multiplayer occasionally and bought a few favorite games like Until You Fall, Bonelab, B&S, and Alyx but mostly it would end up sitting unused. I kinda also wanted to develop for VR but I probably wouldn’t have done anything more than the two shitty assets I once imported poorly into Blade and Sorcery.

    Right now I’m glad I have the $1,500 now because there are car issues to take care of. Ultimately I think VR is beautiful, but my world is still a little too rough around the edges to pay huge sums for a daydreaming toy.
